In 2017, four core organizations set a bold aim and began work toward the goal of rapidly spreading the 4Ms Framework for Age-Friendly Care to 20 percent of US hospitals and medical practices by 2020. Age-Friendly Health Systems is an initiative of
The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) in partnership with the
American Hospital Association (AHA) and the
Catholic Health Association of the United States (CHA).
Five pioneer health systems stepped forward to work with IHI to test ideas and learn what it takes to be an Age-Friendly Health System. The 4Ms Framework for Age-Friendly Care that emerged is both evidence based and able to be put into practice reliably in health care settings.
As of November 2019, 116 Hospitals and Health Care Practices have been recognized by IHI as Age-Friendly Health Systems- Committed to Care Excellence, including:
